40 days and counting. The long wait is almost over!
I wonder whether we will get enough data to test new simulation theories like this one. http://space.newscientist.com/article/mg19...solar-wind.html What do you expect from this first flyby? |

Here is the latest Mercury image from Messenger that I lightly processed.
As a rule I really dont like working from JPEGs (wish I had the raw data!) cheers! -------------------- CLA CLL

While we are waiting, I made a new stand-in red filter to make an approximate UV/Blue/Green color image (sort of Voyager-esque in that sense - Voyager had an orange filter, but often press release images were UV/Blue(orViolet)/Green). I have attached links not only to the large jpeg (which is heavily compressed), but also to the PNG file, which, be warned, is 7 megabytes.
At the very least, it kept regions which are brighter in UV from simply seeming desaturated like they did in the version I posted earlier. JPEG Version PNG Version - 7 MB -------------------- |

This is by far the best global image of Mercury I have ever seen and should remain so for a few days at least . |
